About this dive site

This dive site, located near an old sugar mill (engenho), is a notable area for underwater exploration. It features a long parcel, the primary feeding ground for green turtles and hawksbill turtles. The site offers considerable diversity, with shallow areas forming natural pools reaching approximately 2 meters in depth, transitioning to deeper zones composed of rock formations and sand, descending to a maximum depth of 28 meters. Due to this range, it is frequently chosen for advanced diving practices. The location provides interesting visibility and varied underwater terrain.
